“Whether you come back by page or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.” ― J.K. Rowling

How magical it was to see this place in (semi) real life. The attention to detail is incredible. The ride inside the castle was fantastic as well (though I did feel a tad motion sick). Even waiting in line for the ride felt like attending a class at Hogwarts, as you line up in the greenhouse. I drank butter beer watching the crowds play with wands around the castle (I didn't enjoy the drink any more than the first time!).

For lunch I went to the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade and had the traditional English roast. Treacle tart with clotted cream is one of my all time favourite foods now! I can imagine Harry's delight at seeing some at that first Hogwarts feast much better now.

If you have the chance, the Harry Potter section of Universal Studios is a must.
